About yarn, synthetic; filament, monofilament (less than 67 decitex), of polypropylene, other than high tenacity or textured yarn, multiple (folded) or cabled, not for retail sale, not sewing thread
HS code 540263 covers a specific type of synthetic yarn made from polypropylene filaments. This yarn is an essential component in various textile and manufacturing industries, finding applications in areas such as clothing, upholstery, and industrial fabrics. As a versatile and cost-effective material, this polypropylene yarn plays a significant role in the global textile supply chain and the broader economy.
Production process
The production of the yarn covered by HS code 540263 typically involves a multi-step process. First, polypropylene resin is extruded into continuous filaments, which are then drawn and stretched to achieve the desired thickness and properties. The filaments are then twisted or cabled together to create the final yarn, which is suitable for a wide range of textile applications but not intended for direct retail sale.
Production inputs
The primary input for the production of HS code 540263 yarn is polypropylene resin, a synthetic polymer derived from the petrochemical industry. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires specialized machinery, such as extruders, drawing equipment, and twisting/cabling units. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential inputs for the production of this type of synthetic yarn.
Production outputs
The yarn produced under HS code 540263 is primarily used as an input for the manufacture of various textile products, including 540710 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, 540752 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, and 540769 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn. This polypropylene yarn may also be used in the production of industrial textiles, such as 560314 Nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, 630900 Worn clothing and other worn articles, and 680710 Articles of asphalt or of similar material, among others.
